Early start before driving into San Francisco to catch the ferry to Alcatraz. Exploring the Island was amazing and the audio guide really brought the history to life. We learnt about the life of the convicts and guards here as well as some of the elaborate escape attempts! We then headed home for a family bbq. It was wonderful Stacey and Mike came along with the lovely Maggie and Maria. We were treated to a proper American bbq including Carls amazing Hot links, Tri Tip and Baby back ribs, Mikes Boston Baked Beans and Stacey's chocolate chip cheesecake (we have never eaten so well)! It was a really lovely get together. Maggie had made both myself and Andrew beautiful boxes using only special folding techniques. I was also treated to an early birthday celebration. We really cannot describe how welcome we have been made to feel and how at home we feel. We will be very sad to leave tomorrow.
